Dan Aykroyd Slams Paul Feig, Says Costly Reshoots Killed 'Ghostbusters' Sequelshttp://awesome98.com/dan-aykroyd-paul-feig-ghostbusters-sequel/
http://awesome98.com/dan-aykroyd-paul-feig-ghostbusters-sequel/#commentsMon, 05 Jun 2017 17:15:00 +0000http://screencrush.com/?p=353879Continue reading…]]>Last year’s Ghostbusters reboot was supposed to be the start of an entire new franchise (or perhaps even a universe of franchises) around the venerable ’80s horror comedy. Sony Pictures, which owns the rights to bust ghosts on the big screen, even created this new production company, Ghost Corps, to lead the charge on all these various efforts. There was talk of an all-male Ghostbusters to accompany the all-female team we got from director Paul Feig. And a new cartoon series was put into development as well. But since the movie opened to just so-so reviews and box office last year, developments on this front have been as quiet as Spook Central after a total protonic reversal.

The previous sequels, plus the Minions spinoff, have grossed more than $2.6 billion worldwide, and each of the last two made well over $300 million in the United States alone. Despicable Me 3 looks like it will offer plenty of what fans of the series crave: Those goofy gibberish-spouting Minions, wacky misadventures, and plenty of Steve Carell’s lovably evil Gru, plus now he’s got a twin brother (or, as he calls him, “a tween broothur”) to contend with as well.

It could have been easy for this week's new episode to gloss over the passing of one of their own (it is a comedy show, after all), but 'SNL' has always been a slightly class institution -- it remembers those who came before.

The news that Wiig is writing, directing and costarring in a buddy comedy with her 'Bridesmaids' screenwriting partner Annie Mumolo suggests she's ready to make another big comedy.

For everyone who loves it, there is someone else who thinks it's one of the worst things to ever happen to the show. The latest edition won't change any minds, but the return of Kristen Wiig does make it a little more special than the past couple of times they've trotted it out.

That's why a certain sketch on last night's Kristen Wiig-hosted episode proved to be a massive shock -- it's not every day that the longrunning comedy variety show gets violent.

The world's worst musical duo made an appearance on Weekend Update and it was as funny as it has ever been.

The improv duo appeared to take the stage with little to no script, riffing off one another while announcing the nominees for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Comedy or Musical.

And there's a new video on FunnyOrDie.com that makes fun of it. But it's not actually about a candidate.
